Paltan, that time of the year is coming soon! 🥵🔥
The festival of fours, sixes, nail-biters and pure chaos is back! The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is back! And this time… BACK ON HOME SOIL. 🇮🇳💙

Yes, you heard it right. India will host the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, and our boys are gearing up to do what they do best: dominate the big stage and send stadium decibels through the roof. 🤯🎉

Our men in blue have been in scorching red red-hot form. Aggressive batting, fearless intent, hungry young guns and bowling units that hunt in packs. This is the new India. Fast, bold & FEARLESS.

A young team ready for the biggest stage. But the real question is… Is the biggest stage ready for them?

The 2024 World Cup-winning captain, Rohit Sharma, is also back. Back as the Brand Ambassador of the ICC Men's T20 Cricket World Cup 2026. With Rohit as the face of the World Cup, you just know… the vibes are already elite.🤩

आपलं home म्हणजे Wankhede Stadium will be hosting India’s first game. That’s right 👉 INDIA vs USA. 7th February. MUMBAI. Our city will also be hosting the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup. The summit clash of India-Pakistan will take place on February 15th.

As the countdown to the spectacle begins, the biggest appetizer of all is served… THE SCHEDULE IS OUT!

So don’t waste even a second! Grab a pen, block those calendars, and start planning your viewing parties. 🗓️🔥
